Went here for a brunch meal, it was very busy so be prepared to come back later when it quietens down. We had the pancakes and Waffles and everything is gluten free and so delicious! Highly recommend
Very expensive price unjustifiable with the quality of the dishes. Very basic Greek salad, with lettuce leaves without even cutting them and almost without dressing €14.5. The most expensive French toast I've seen in Porto with slices of sirloin that were too thick and tough. The bland cod cakes. The Caldo verde was worth €9 when we ate it elsewhere for €2.5. In short, a place to avoid since they use the excuse of gluten-free to scare tourists and on top of that there is no air conditioning.
Such a wonderful place! An oasis in tourist hell. Everything is delicious, gluten-free, dairy-free, and even vegan. The people are super friendly and the place, especially with the garden in the back, is absolutely beautiful! Thank you!!
Nice staff and great atmosphere! However, the food felt very overpriced and the quality was less than what we expected. There are a lot of options for those who are gluten free and with dietary restrictions, though!
A great pizzeria, with super friendly service from the very first moment. David, the owner, is charming and makes you feel at home. If you have celiac disease or an egg allergy, this is an ideal place: they have many gluten-free and egg-free options that are safe and delicious.
The best vegan chocolate cupcake I have ever tried! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. All products are gluten free too. It was my favourite spot in town <3
I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hello, Paulina!
We have several gluten-free and vegan options on the menu. From tapioca, salads, smoothie bowls, shakshuka, pancakes, etc.
We'd also like to inform you that all toasts can be served on gluten-free bread or with a baked sweet potato base instead of traditional bread. You can see our menu at: https://www.zenithcaffe.pt/EmentaZenithPT.pdf // https://www.zenithcaffe.es/MENU_ZENITH_ES_ENG.pdf However, given that all the products are made in the same kitchen and that we have very limited space, we can't guarantee 100% that there won't be any cross-contamination, even though we take every possible precaution. To date we have never had any reported incidents
If you come to visit us, we suggest that you inform the manager immediately when you order, so that we can take extra care. We hope to see you soon, Zenith team "
An absolute highlight for anyone who wants to enjoy gluten-free and vegan food!
The gluten-free and vegan Pastéis de Nata even taste better than the classic originals – unbelievable, but true! I've searched for comparable options in many cities and countries over the past few years, but nowhere have I found such a large selection and such excellent quality as here.
We ate far too much – and it was incredibly delicious – in the restaurant and couldn't resist buying a large bag to take home.
Without reservation and with complete conviction: 200% recommended!
A lovely family owned restaurant. The food was great, and the owners were so lovely and accommodating as we had no reservation and got a table quite late. They had a separate gluten free menu too which was great for my friend. They made it a great experience for us. I’ll be thinking about the chocolate dream cake for a long time!
A dream. The pizzas are incredible, the pastas are also very good... the pizzas have a special place in my heart, especially the Prosciutto and Funghi ones... celiacs, a paradise. Exceptional quality.
With these new employees, the atmosphere is 5 stars, I highly recommend it, with all the precautions for celiac disease. The quality of the food... speechless, try it!!!

Ingredients were good quality and price was reasonable, but ordering was a nightmare and despite getting a market plate and an extra side, I left still hungry.
I asked whether the chicken dish I ordered was gluten free and was told yes, but it arrived covered in breadcrumbs.
Additionally, I was brought the wrong order twice before they got it right, including the second time where they added bread despite me clearly asking for the salad because it was gluten free.
Others with allergens here should keep in mind that although some other allergens are labeled clearly, gluten is not.
Excellent food, friendly servers who communicate easily in several languages, and a short wait that was quickly forgotten. Be careful, there are no gluten-free options.
It's incredibly delicious, everything's vegan, there are plenty of gluten-free options, the service is friendly, and everything looks beautiful! What can I say, it was amazing! Absolutely recommended!

Had a lovely meal here. Great for gluten fee, knowledgeable friendly staff, menu clearly labelled and staff confirmed all orders to be sure all gluten free. Had the mozzarella salad, delicious squid and amazing duck risotto.
Very small resturant on the water front. Seating outside with about 5 tables for 2 inside.
What a wonderful gem to find in Porto! Everything was delicious from start to finish - mocktails, vegan nachos and their cheesecake. Lots of gluten free options on the menu as well. Trendy and modern decor. Service is on the slower end, but that is common around all restaurants in Porto. Would definitely return here if I am back in Portugal
I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hi Paulina,
We do have a gluten free menu.
When you visit us, please inform the server of all your allergies, our staff will certainly provide you a meal free of allergens.
Check attached our full menu allergens for your consideration prior to your visit.
Thanks"
It's super good, the food is delicious and very reasonably priced. One drawback is that if you're celiac or gluten-intolerant, it's quite exhausting to be charged the difference and an extra 1 euro. It just doesn't make sense. Otherwise, everything is delicious, the atmosphere is super nice, and so is the place.

Fantastic meal here. Just back of the river front and behind the restaurant Rib. Great atmosphere. Good for gluten free. Knowledgeable staff and lots of options for those with dietary restrictions. Food was delicious but go hungry as portions generous. Had a sea bass and.octopus as mains, both of which were great. All dishes looked good.
Delicious mouse for desert.
Good wine selection.
All reasonably priced. Would highly recommend. Booking needed.
Amazing gluten free brunch. Fresh ingredients and a peaceful space to enjoy in. Ordered the scrambled eggs, came with a gluten free cracker instead of sourdough which was turnout out to be a nice substitute and the whole meal was very filling.
Great resturant. Limited gluten free choices but all labelled, knowledge and friendly staff well informed on cross contamination.
Non GF food all looked great.
We had tortilla, veal capaccio and prawn risotto. All delicious.
Great setting with a good vibe in the main railway station.
Booking required as constantly busy.
Really enjoyed this place, there was a big variety of food and a good atmosphere.
A good place for a first date or just for an affordable dinner.
All-you-can-eat lettuce was a godsend in this gluten-full, pastry-for-breakfast/lunch/dinner continent.
Great place, extremely recommend.
Very nice place! They accommodated my food allergies and intolerances. They were very kind about this. If you have a gluten / dairy allergy, let them know.
Mercador Café & Brunch in Porto is a gem for those looking for a cozy place with a modern atmosphere. The service was super friendly and fast. I enjoyed a delicious açaí with fruits, which was fresh and very well presented. 🍓🫐 In addition, they offer gluten-free bread, which is a great plus for those who need it. Their coffee is excellent and perfect to accompany their varied menu, which includes fresh and healthy dishes. 🥑🍳 The decoration of the place is elegant, ideal for relaxing or having a good time. Although the prices may be a little high, the quality justifies it. Without a doubt, a place that I recommend for a quiet and tasty brunch in the heart of Porto.
Gorgeous building and super quick service. My friend is gluten free and received a yummy gluten free burger. Vegetarian burger was good too. Would come again.
I loved this bar for gluten-free and vegan breakfast!!! We went twice during our trip to Porto and we will return for sure, thank you very much for giving us options for those of us who have dietary restrictions. The place was also very nice.
Fantastic food & quality! (tuna tacos are simply AMAZING!). Tasty gluten free beer. Super efficient & friendly servers. One of the best places to eat in Porto!
Super delicious food and superb service. The waiters couldn't be nicer or more attentive. They adapt almost everything to gluten-free. Highly recommended.
Expensive compared to most restaurants you will find around Porto but you absolutely get what you pay for. Dishes are organic, gluten free, vegan and fresh. No prepackaged, thrown in a microwave food here. I wish more places existed like this and I will miss it terribly when we move.
Amazing! Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had in my life!!!(you have to advise them 24 hours in advance for the GF dough) The non-gluten free pizzas are also very very good! Staff is very helpful and funny. I will come back here for sure!
Lee was able to answer all our questions around gluten intolerance. She was a wonderful host who knows her job well. The food had excellent flavours and the meal size very good. Would happily visit again for a meal and recommend Thailander to all that have not been there yet.
I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hola!
It will be a pleasure to receive you. We cook mainly with corn so you’ll find almost all our option gluten free. Of course with your allergies we will have reduce some of the plates we are offering but we believe you will still have many dishes to choose from.
Muchas Gracias,
FRIDA"

I love the gelato. It was incredible. Gluten free cone and all. This review isn’t about that but the service I received. I debated on writing something but it stayed with me so deeply I felt the need to write it here. It was simply unacceptable.
Tell your staff (two guys that look like twins or brothers — in this case it was only the one brother/coworker. The other worker actually stood up for me after his coworker wouldn’t stop and I appreciated it. Near the Rua sao bento da Victoria location to be clear, around 10-11pm) unnecessarily rude and mean. I don’t need to be bullied when I’m out on vacation just getting gelato with my wife. I was made fun of and he kept saying the flavor I chose wasn’t gluten free and made it really confusing and unpleasant for no other reason than his amusement, saying it was sarcasm. If that was “sarcasm”, it was the most blatantly mean and distasteful and unobvious sarcasm I’ve ever received. I wasn’t laughing. My celiac disease isn’t funny or a laughing matter. I was under the impression everything was gluten free but was really worried he was trying to get me to eat gluten or didn’t understand me and I was panicked. It’s not funny, it was cruel. This isn’t high school. I was more than nice and was treated like a kid being scolded by a bully.
An hour before walked. But once there, you are assured of a gluten free menu because it is even on the tables. What friendly staff. Really a very good quality ratio! For €10,- a 3 course served…

We came to get some take away sushi and the place was buzzin’. Better reserve a table for dine-in.
We were happy that they were able to make our choices gluten-free. We had a couple of makis, nigiris and the vegan box, and everything was delicious and very well presented. Would come back.

We stumbled upon this wonderful venue to escape the rain. Then we were enchanted. We enjoyed an excellent wine tasting and made some great friends with other guests. When we asked about a celiac-friendly restaurant, we were promptly invited to the restaurant at the back of the shop. We could hardly believe the dreamy ambiance that awaited us. This was followed by an unforgettable dinner with wine pairing. When we left the venue several hours later, it was still raining, but our mood couldn't have been better. We left slightly tipsy and with our stomachs full of delicious food. A very special thank you goes to the entire service team. We haven't experienced such excellent, attentive, and friendly service in a long time. We will definitely be back.
Great, fun casual dinner place.
Gluten and Allergy aware with staff that goes out of their way to help (Thanks Rose !)
Food was amazing and portion size crazy large.
Will be back!
A place I will definitely return to. Coming for a birthday dinner, my choice was for this restaurant given these superb reviews! And I was not disappointed. You will be welcomed in this small restaurant with typical Italian food with service worthy of a starred restaurant. Remember to book because their reputation is well established and therefore it is complicated to be able to sit down without prior reservation. And I had the joy of discovering that they had gluten-free options (and they are the best I have eaten!), they also have plenty of lactose-free options for our intolerant friends. Carbonara like in Italy, a pistachio tiramisu to hell, quality service and a lovely team! Thanks again to them for this welcome and this service which allowed us to end our trip to Portugal on a delicious note!
We ordered two takeaway pistachio matchas for €14.30.
We asked for one gluten free and one with oat milk. They gave us the gluten free one with oat milk (which is not gluten free). This meant that we had to scrape the cookie and pistachio cream off my celiac friend’s drink and onto mine as she is allergic.
It also took us 20 minutes to receive the drinks and the sizes were incredibly small. Not worth the money.
We had also seen them bring out the dine in drink with the pistachio cookie advertised but instead we got a small biscoff cookie for some reason.
Best Eggplant I have ever eaten!! Such a nice service! Everything is vegan (but you can’t tell a difference between non-vegan food) - some dishes even with gluten free options. Highly recommend this restaurant!
